“Men don’t get to have an opinion on abortion” is such an insidious trope because it trains men to suppress the urge to protect the weak from harm, which is the least toxic form of masculinity.

What do men add to the political decision-making on abortion laws besides less credibility compared to women and less skin in the game?

Why do you consider men’s relationship to children a lack of “skin in the game”?

Scott has been proposing the libertarian argument that women can handle this alone for quite some time. But Jeremy's point tying this to the emasculation of men is very intriguing. Men's biological job for thousands of years has been to protect.

I only argue what gets you to the most credible and stable result. And men don't help get there. We add no knowledge that is not already known to women.

“Credibility” begs the question. Men’s role protecting children from harm is credible even when the harm comes from the mother. And if it’s wrong to kill children, then a “stable” scenario where men do nothing to stop it is hardly desirable.

You're on different topics. I'm only talking about what makes a law credible. If only men had babies, I sure as hell wouldn't want to hear women telling me what the laws should be.
